V2406A W7E Series Enabling Embedded Filters
Enhanced Write Filter
Overview
Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) enables you to protect a volume from unauthorized writes by making the main operating system (OS) drive a write-protected volume, effectively making the system a read-only system for most users. This provides much stronger protection against malicious computer attacks (such as trojans, worms, and viruses).
Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) allows Windows 7 users to protect data on their storage drive from permanent changes of any sort, at the lowest level of hardware protection available: the bit level. EWF allows the OS to boot from the hard disk, but protects the system by creating a virtual file system called an overlay. All writes to an EWF-protected volume (the hard disk in the following figure) are only recorded on this virtual overlay (the EWF Volume in the following figure), which is stored independently in random access memory (RAM).
Because EWF does not write data directly to the hard disk but instead only records system writes to this virtual RAM overlay, any data that is “written” during system operation will disappear upon the next re-boot. This approach allows the system to operate as if it is writeable when in reality all OS and user-space file systems are stored in a permanent, read-only state.
If required, data written to the overlay can be committed to the protected volume, but this requires additional setup and permissions that can only be granted by the administrator.
The following figure shows an overview of the EWF structure.
For more detailed information about EWF configuration and usage, refer to the following resources:
• Visit Microsoft’s EWF Volume Configuration help pages. • See Microsoft’s EWF overview on the official Microsoft EWF help pages. • See Microsoft’s detailed description of EWF modes on the EWF help pages. • See Microsoft’s detailed description of the EWF API. • For EWF commands, refer to the MSDN web site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms940853%28v=winembedded.5%29.aspx
4-2 V2406A W7E Series Enabling Embedded Filters
Enabling Enhanced Write Filter
Follow these steps to enable Enhanced Write Filter (EWF):
1. To open EWF, double-click the padlock icon in the system tray. 2. You may need to show hidden icons in the system tray.
3. In the Volume Information area, select the partition you want to enable write-protection on and click Configure….
4-3 V2406A W7E Series Enabling Embedded Filters
4. The Configuration dialog box appears. Select Enable from the Pending command drop-down list and click OK.
5. Reboot the system. 6. Log into the system and verify that the padlock icon in the system tray indicates that the drive volume is locked with EWF.
4-4 V2406A W7E Series Enabling Embedded Filters
Committing Data and/or Disabling EWF
Perform the following steps to write (or commit) data to an EWF-enabled drive.
NOTE You must have administrator privileges to commit data to the drive.
1. Double-click the padlocked drive in the system tray. You may need to show hidden icons in the system tray.
2. In the Enhanced Write Filter: Overview dialog box, select the drive you want to configure and click Configure.
4-5 V2406A W7E Series Enabling Embedded Filters
3. In the Enhanced Write Filter Configuration screen, select a drive volume; then, select an option from the Pending Command drop-down list: • No Command • Disable: Disables EWF on the selected drive. The system automatically reboots if you select this option. • Commit: Writes all current system changes to the hard drive. • Commit and Disable Live: Writes all current data and changes to the system, and also turns off EWF on the selected drive (so that all future data and system changes will also be committed to the drive). The system does not automatically reboot if you select this option.
NOTE For detailed information, go to the Microsoft website at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff794092(v=winembedded.60).aspx.
File-Based Write Filter
This section describes how to use the File-Based Writer Filter (FBWF). Note that when Enhanced Writer Filter is enabled, the File-Based Writer Filter function will not work.
According to Microsoft:
“File-Based Write Filter (FBWF) allows the Windows Embedded platform to maintain the appearance of read and write access on write-sensitive or read-only storage. FBWF makes read and write access transparent to applications.
Writing to storage media may be undesirable or impossible in embedded devices. FBWF redirects all writes targeted for protected volumes to a RAM cache called an overlay. Used in this context, an overlay is similar to a transparency overlay on an overhead projector. Any change made to the overlay affects the picture as seen in the aggregate, but if the overlay is removed, the underlying picture remains unchanged.”
FBWF supports an advanced ESF feature, which allows users to specify which directory to write data to. The default directory is c:\temp. The advanced feature allows you can read/write data to disk without committing an action.
4-6 V2406A W7E Series Enabling Embedded Filters
Configuring File-Based Write Filter
Complete the following steps to enable the File-Based Write Filter (FBWF) feature. Note that although FBWF and EWF may both be enabled on the same machine, FBWF does not protect a volume that is already protected by EWF. Similarly, EWF does not protect a volume that is already protected by FBWF.
NOTE Before using FBWF, make sure that you disable EWF.
1. Double-click the padlock icon in the system tray. You may need to show hidden icons in the system tray.
NOTE When disabled, the EWF and FBWF icons in the system tray look the same. To verify that you have opened the correct writer filter program, check the screen title.
2. In the File Based Writer Filter: Overview screen, click Configure.
3. To enable FBWF protection on a storage drive, perform the following actions: a. Select Filter state enabled and Cache pre-allocation enabled. b. In the Volume Configuration area, select the storage drive you want to protect and click Protect. c. Click Apply or OK.
4-7 V2406A W7E Series Enabling Embedded Filters
NOTE To minimize memory usage on the overlay cache, select Cache compression enabled. However, cache compression decreases performance when accessing protected volumes. Select Cache pre-allocation enable to set the memory space available for the overlay cache when the system starts up, instead of adjusting it as needed. You cannot enable cache pre-allocation and cache compression at the same time. The cache threshold field sets the amount of memory that can be used by the write filter for the overlay cache. The default value and size limits for the overlay cache vary depending on the operating system.
4. Reboot the system. 5. Log into the system and verify that the padlock icon in the system tray displays a number and indicates that FBWF is enabled on a drive. The following figure shows an example.
4-8 V2406A W7E Series Enabling Embedded Filters
Excluding Files from FBWF Protection
1. Double-click the FBWF icon in the system tray. You may need to show hidden icons in the system tray. 2. In the File Based Write Filter: Overview window, click Configure.
3. Click the Exclusion List tab and configure the following fields: • Volume name – Select a drive volume from the drop-down list. • Add path – click the ellipsis (…) button to select a directory or file you want to exclude from FBWF protection; then click the + button. The system displays the selected directory or file in the Path table.
4. Click the Cache Content tab and click Apply and OK.
4-9 V2406A W7E Series Enabling Embedded Filters
5. Reboot the system to make the changes take effect.
Managing Temporary Files Cached in the Overlay
1. On the Cached Content tab, you will see all the files currently cached in the RAM overlay. Three commands are available: • Commit: Save a file from the cache to permanent storage, delete the file from the overlay, and overwrite the original file. • Restore: Return the file to its original state, remove the file from the overlay cache and discard the changes that added the file to the cache. • Add to exclusion list: Adds the file to the exclusion list after the next restart. This will delete the file from the cached overlay and replace the current file in permanent storage with the modified cache file.
2. The most common usage of the Cache Content filter will likely be to permanently write content to the hard drive. To do this, select the file you wish to write to permanent memory and click on the commit button. This will delete the file from the cached overlay and replace the current file in permanent storage with the modified cache file.
4-10 V2406A W7E Series Enabling Embedded Filters
Keep in mind that committing a configuration or application file will permanently alter the setup and/or performance of the application or system.

V2406A W7E Series Moxa SynMap Package
Moxa SynMap Package
Overview
SynMap is Moxa’s revolutionary software virtualization tool, which adapts SNMP into a fully portable remote procedure interface. SynMap allows engineers to automate remote processes using SNMP object identifiers (OIDs) rather than device-specific addresses, making a scripted SynMap procedure fully interoperable with any other SynMap device. This means that a script created for one SynMap device may be directly copied to another, immediately conferring the same functionality. This eliminates the need to rewrite and compile code for newly configured devices, significantly reducing maintenance and deployment times.
SNMP is lightweight and easy-to-configure, and has long been popular with IT professionals. SNMP also enjoys comprehensive native support in high-level languages, including .NET, Java, Python, and Ruby. For these reasons, the SynMap framework has re-purposed SNMP into a universal configuration and control interface for remote procedures, adapting it to not only monitor and control device internals like temperature, BIOS parameters, and local interfaces, but also to report on and automate tasks at the process layer, as well. Easily integrated into any existing Network Management System (NMS), SynMap devices are a flexible and cost-effective upgrade that returns obvious benefits to any IA network.
SynMap currently allows you to use SNMP for remote monitoring and control of a select set of computer processes, but its list of features is rapidly growing. Using SynMap’s fully portable scripts, engineers will soon be able to:
• Access, monitor, control, and report on digital I/O at both the process and hardware layers. • Use OIDs to monitor, configure, and give process control over serial ports and other interfaces. • Monitor and control system attributes and process events via any NMS. • Build automated remote procedures using SynMap OIDs called by simple shell scripts, or a preferred high-level language like Python, Perl, or VBScript—all without any need for low-level C APIs, or platform-specific libraries. • Significantly simplify and reduce development times for custom utilities and automated executables. • Gain scripting and automation independence from OS-dependent libraries.
All of this may be achieved using the simple, reliable, and familiar SNMP, the easily accessible standard every IT engineer knows. Discover how Moxa is expanding automation frontiers with the innovation we call SynMap.

8. System Recovery
This chapter describes the system recovery process that you can perform if the system is not functioning properly.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Overview Setting Up the Recovery Environment Setting Up a Factory Default Recovery Image Step 1: Prepare the USB drive Step 2: Setting the BIOS to Boot via USB Step 3: How to Perform a System Recovery Step 4: Reset the BIOS to its Original State Creating a Custom System Image
V2406A W7E Series System Recovery
Overview
This section describes how to prepare your computer for recovery in the event the system becomes unstable. You can perform a system recovery using one of the following system images:
• A clean factory default image.
• A user-generated image created from a fully configured, fully set up system.
Before you perform a system recovery, set up the system environment.
Setting Up the Recovery Environment
To set up the recovery environment on a V2406A computer, prepare a USB drive that has at least 4 GB of memory and a copy of the recovery suite.
The following lists the major steps in the recovery procedure:
1. Copy the recovery programs and system image file on to the USB drive. Set up the drive as a live-drive system with an ISO image of the boot environment. 2. Reboot the system and configure the BIOS to boot the recovery system from the USB port. 3. An image of the current software system will be created on the USB drive. The recovery environment will use this image when restoring the system. 4. Reboot the system again and the BIOS is returned to its original state.
Setting Up a Factory Default Recovery Image
Step 1: Preparing the USB drive
1. Load the software DVD that came with your V2406A computer and execute tuxboot-windows-23.exe in the \recovery\ folder. 2. Select Pre Downloaded and click the ellipsis (…) button to browse the file system and locate the boot environment’s ISO image.
8-2 V2406A W7E Series System Recovery
3. Navigate to the \recovery\ folder on the software DVD and select the boot environment’s ISO image.
4. Select USB Drive from the Type drop-down list and select the drive letter that corresponds to the USB drive from the Drive drop-down list. Click OK to copy the boot environment and bootloader to your USB drive.
5. Click Exit.
8-3 V2406A W7E Series System Recovery
6. From the desktop, copy the directory containing the base OS from the software DVD on to the USB drive. That is, copy #:\
After Step 1 procedure is complete, proceed to the next section, Step 2: Setting the BIOS to Boot via USB.
Step 2: Setting the BIOS to Boot via USB
This step shows you how to reset the BIOS so the system can boot directly from the USB port. You must perform this action before you can continue to configure the system recovery environment.
1. Reboot the system, and, during the POST process, press F2 until you hear a long beep. Click SCU to enter the BIOS setup menu.
2. Use the left and right arrow keys to navigate to the Boot menu. 3. Use the up and down arrow keys to navigate to the Legacy field; then, press [Enter].
8-4 V2406A W7E Series System Recovery
4. Use the up and down arrow keys to navigate to the Boot Type Order link; then, press [Enter].
5. Use the up and down arrow keys to navigate to the USB link; then, use the plus or minus (+/-) key to move USB to the top of boot priority list.
8-5 V2406A W7E Series System Recovery
6. Press F10 and [Enter] to save and exit the BIOS configuration interface. This sets the system to reboot from the hard drive.
Step 3: Performing a System Recovery
This step describes how to perform a system recovery. We include this as step 3 of the installation so administrators can first perform a test run before deploying the system to the field.
To begin the system recovery process, configure the BIOS settings as described in the previous section Step 2: Setting the BIOS to Boot via USB. Then, connect the USB recovery drive to any USB ports on the V2406A and then reboot the computer. If you have successfully prepared the USB and BIOS, the computer will boot into the Clonezilla boot loader from the USB port.
1. Select clonezilla live restore disk to boot into the system recovery environment.
2. Wait until the boot process is finished.

3. The screen displays warning messages to remind you that you are about to overwrite your entire operating system with a new drive image, and ask you if you want to continue. When prompted, enter Y (case insensitive) to start the system recovery process. You can press any key or [Ctrl + C] to cancel the recovery process and exit Clonezilla.
4. The screen displays another warning message to remind you that you are about to overwrite your hard drive and erase all data on the partition listed (sda1, in the following figure). If you want to continue, enter Y (case insensitive).
8-7 V2406A W7E Series System Recovery
5. Wait until the process is finished.
6. To complete the recovery process, select (0) Power off to shut down the computer. However, if the Power Switch remains inserted in the front panel of the computer and is left in the ON position, the system will not shut down and will immediately initiate a soft reboot. To avoid this, use the switch to cut off power to the computer immediately following the shutdown command, or simply the power switch from the front panel and use the console to shut down the computer by pressing 0.
8-8 V2406A W7E Series System Recovery
7. After the computer is powered down, remove the USB drive and store it in a secure place.
Step 4: Resetting the BIOS
Reset the boot priority to the factory default settings to allow the system to boot from the main system storage drive. This is done for two reasons:
• The first reason is for security, since the computer will not be able to be rebooted from unauthorized USB drives. • The second reason is because the computer is able to boot up from a non-bootable USB drive. Currently, if the V2406A is set to boot from a USB drive, the V2406A’s boot process stops anytime you insert a non-bootable USB data drive into the machine. The V2406A cannot detect USB data drives and boot-capable OS drives.
Complete the following steps to reset the boot priority setting:
1. Reboot the system, and, during the POST process, press F2 until you hear a long beep. Click SCU to enter the BIOS setup menu.
2. Use the left and right arrow keys to navigate to the Boot menu.

3. Use the up and down arrows to navigate to the Legacy link; then, press [Enter].
4. Use the up and down arrow keys to navigate to the Boot Type Order link; then, press Enter.
5. Use the up and down arrows to highlight Hard Disk Drive and use the plus or minus (+/-) key to move Hard Disk Drive to the top of the boot priority list.
8-10 V2406A W7E Series System Recovery
6. Press F10 and [Enter] to save and exit the BIOS configuration interface. This sets the system to reboot, and the system should now boot from the hard drive. For more information about initializing user settings, refer to the System Initialization chapter.
Creating a Custom System Image
In this section, we describe how to create a custom system image so that all of your applications can be kept and recovered. Using this procedure, you will save to the USB drive a copy of the entire system as it is currently configured, and to be used as a full system recovery image if the system crashes. All files under F:\home\partimag\ will be overwritten. Before proceeding, make sure you have already completed Step 1: Prepare the USB drive and Step 2: Setting the BIOS to Boot via USB, and then continue with the following steps to create a custom system image.
1. Once the system has launched and the V2406A has booted the recovery environment from the USB drive, navigate to clonezilla live save disk, and then select it by pressing Enter. This will take you into the recovery image creation environment, allowing you to copy your full system setup to the USB drive.
2. The V2406A boots into the image creation environment. Wait until the boot process is complete.
8-11 V2406A W7E Series System Recovery
3. Once the image creation environment is booted up, a warning message displays asking whether you want to continue. Note that if you create the recovery image, then any files copied in the /home/partimag directory will be deleted. If you want to save the files in the USB partition image directory, you must exit the recovery environment and copy the files to another disk. Press Y (case insensitive) to continue with the image creation.
8-12 V2406A W7E Series System Recovery
4. The recovery environment starts to copy the entire hard drive to your USB drive. This may take several minutes. Wait until the process is complete.
WARNING
Do NOT remove the USB drive from the computer during the data copy process.
8-13 V2406A W7E Series System Recovery
5. Choose whether to power down the computer (press 0), reboot (press 1), access the console terminal (to access a console TTY, press 2), or re-initiate the entire procedure (press 3).
WARNING
Do NOT remove the USB drive from the computer until you have rebooted or powered down the system.
6. Power down the system and remove the USB drive. The recovery environment setup is complete and you have created an OS image in the USB Folder\home\partimag\os_image folder. Label the USB drive and store it in a safe place.
